下野日光山中蓬萊巖
Horai Rock in the Nikko Mountains, Shimotsuke Province
Against the sky, tall trees with few branches stand dark. Behind them, the line of a hazy mountain ridge comes into view.
About this photo
With a hazy mountain ridge behind them, two or three tall trees with few branches stand on the right, reaching dark all the way to the top edge. In the middle spread dark stands of trees and a flat area that looks like dark water. Fine white specks are scattered over the lower third or so, and the very bottom sinks into black.
The title printed vertically beside the photo reads "下野日光山中蓬萊巖" (Horai Rock in the Nikko Mountains, Shimotsuke Province). The photo appears in Nihon Meisho Shashincho (Photographs of Famous Places in Japan), published in 1898.
From the tallest tree, one long branch reaches far out to the left. It crosses the bright part of the sky, stretching above the hazy ridge like a single black line drawn across it. We could not find any information about the "Horai Rock" in the title in official sources or dictionaries, so we have written only about what the photo shows and the album's title.
